Peggy gets a black notebook
Peggy gets a black notebook 1915 "Peggy , come take your baby brother , I can't settle him." Ten year Peggy sighed and closed her composition book. She thought she had a few moments to work on her story, but with eight younger brothers and sisters she was "Little Ma." There was never enough time for going to the library , reading and writing her stories. Someone always needed a clean diaper , feeding, bandaging or watching while Ma cooked, cleaned , sewed and fine washing and ironing for elegant ladies for extra money.

$20,000 Later: Life After Winnings
I was about five months into working in the fitness industry until I lost my job due to Covid-19. It was a minimum-wage job, and I was exploring my interests in the field. Basically, one coach got a bunch of members infected, and it was all downhill from there.

The Treasure Within
The best gift I ever received was a notebook. It was my last day of school and I was awarded with perfect attendance and straight A’s. My parents were so damn proud but to be honest I was humiliated. I did not have many friends and spent most of my time in class alone. Teachers loved me because I followed the rules and never acted out. The other kids didn’t talk to me because I sat quietly and gave the impression I didn’t want to talk.

Dragging my tired hungry body trying to find a place to sleep for the night, it is winter time the temperature will fall below zero haven’t had a decent meal in three days pushed my self for any hope. Being framed, getting kicked out of both job and home no savings left so here I am homeless. My loved ones have turned their backs on me, its of no use crying I have accepted my fate and now know survival is the most important thing in this cruel world.

She Didn't Know
“What a beautiful morning”, Shelli said to herself as she rolled over and opened her eyes. The birds chirped a melody that brought life to the rising of each morning for her. The sun spilled through her small old broken unlocked window, barely warming her face. “Thank you”, she said in a faint whisper to herself. She lay there taking in a few more moments of natural harmony. With her eyes shut she drew in a few more deep breaths, and opened her eyes.
